The 2 chargers used different power supplies. The Venom used a Venom specific supply and now I'm using an Eagle Racing unit. As for working correctly,what should I check for? Output seems to be a steady 12.1v

Are you balance charging?
I haven't tried the Orion on a battery since the problem developed. Once the problem showed up on the Venom,it made no difference.

Granted I'm a rookie at charging(I'm nitro guy),but if I read the instructions right, the Orion charges the battery to a certain peak voltage then balances the cells at the end of the charge cycle. So yes,the balance lead is plugged in too.
